Which artist created the stained-glass windows of Birmingham Cathedral’s east end?

Edward Burne-Jones created the stained-glass windows of Birmingham Cathedral’s east end.

Burne-Jones was born in Birmingham and became one of the leading artists associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He designed the cathedral’s large east window, while the glass was manufactured by Morris & Co., the firm closely connected with his friend William Morris.

The window was installed in the late nineteenth century and presents scenes from the life of Christ. Its elongated figures, rich colors, decorative foliage, and medievalizing style are characteristic of Burne-Jones’s mature stained-glass work.

A frequent mistake is to answer William Morris because Morris & Co. made the window. Design and manufacture were related but not identical roles: Burne-Jones supplied the artistic designs, and the company executed them in glass.
